Mine was loud as hell in a 1.1 cubic foot box, and it still maintained a lot of SQ.

Just don't give it more than 300 watts.

those things can handle up to 2100 watts peak...

someone on the forum (honesly i cant remember whom, but if its you, come forward please) was a ta dealer thingy with alpuine and tehy sent it 2100 watts while iot was supsened free air in a selaewd room with a sine wave playing b4 teh dam thing fried....

from waht i hear you can give it any amount of power and it will still be decently loud....

 

[Ganji 10+ year member]

sure, give it all the power you want.

Just don't be surprised when 400 watts cooks it.

That will not happen unless your are irresponsible with your gain levels.

 

[mofugga 10+ year member]

what exactly is gain...and by power i'm talkin ike 250 watts

Gain control is a small potentiometer used to match the incoming voltage from your HU's preouts to your amplifier so that it drives itself to full power w/out clipping.

You're probably right.... I had my amp reaching full power at about 1/2 volume and i ususally had it playing at almost full blast.

I guess I learned my lesson

i have seen 2 type R 12" in a ute with 600 rms into each sub and it sounded awesome and the bass was so loud that the tuning had to he done with an rta and the only speaker system to keep up is 5 pairs yes 5 pairs of typeR 61/2 inch splits and i still couldn't sit in it with the volume past 1/3 power i had to stop because i got a blood nose

Wonderbread is right, with the stats.

it conked out @ 2100W free air.and you cant give it ANY AMOUNT of power, it would eventually blow or fry or tear sumthing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

What do you guys think about these? My buddy at the speaker shop was telling me all about how awsome they are...do they stack up to blueprints or resonants?
